For more information see Setting up Task Permissions.

Data Security

CCH Central has a Data Security model which restricts users' access to selected clients and/or assignments. This is particularly useful for private clients where only a selected group of persons within the organisation has the right to view. CCH Document Management adheres to that security model. If a user does not have rights to view a client/assignment, none of the documents attached to that client/assignment will be visible within the Document Centre. Users will also not be able to search for the client/assignment within the Add Document window (or Properties panel).

Document Type Security

Select Maintenance > Security > Document Security to specify which libraries and types of document a user has access to.

• Use the drop down fields to select the library and security group that you want to set permissions for.
• Where a user does not have View permission for a document they will not be able to search for documents of that type/
• Where a user does not have Edit permission for a document type they will not be able to edit the document or any of the document properties.
• Where a user does not have Add permission for a document type this document type will be excluded from the list of types for selection when adding documents, creating documents, or changing the document type for a document type that is already in the system.
• If a user does not have access to any of the document types within a library then they will not see that library in any library selection options.
